ch. 13 terms Flashcards
? respond to touch, pressure, vibration, or stretch
mechanoreceptors
? are sensitive to changes in temperature
thermoreceptors
? respond to light energy for sight
Photoreceptors
? respond to chemicals for smell, taste, or changes in blood chemistry
chemorecptors
? respond to potentially damaging stimuli and are sensitive to pain- causing stimuli, such as extreme heat or cold, excessive pressure, or inflammatory chemicals
nociceptors
? respond to stimuli arising outside body near or at body surface
exteroceptors
? (visceroceptors) respond to stimuli arising in internal viscera and blood vessels and are sensitive to chemical changes, tissue stretching, or temperature changes
interoceptors
? are located in and respond to stretch in skeletal muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, and CT coverings of bones and muscles to inform the brain of one’s movements
Proprioceptors
General senses include tactile sensations
1. ?
2. Pressure
3. Stretch
4. Vibration
5. ?
6. ?
7. Muscle sense
touch, temperature, pain
? (free) nerve endings are found in
1. ? Receptors
2. Nociceptors
3. Tactile ?
4. Hair Follicle Receptors
Nonencapsulated (free) nerve endings are abundant in ? and CT
nonencapsulated, temperature, disc, epithelia
Encapsulated (free) nerve endings include:
1. Tactile Corpuscles
2. Lamellar Corpuscles
3. ? Spindles
4. ? Organs
5. ? Receptors
muscle, tendon, joint
? receptors are activated between 10 to 40C( 50 to 104ºF) and located in ? dermis
? receptors are activated between 32 to 48C( 90-118ºF) and located in ? dermis
cold, superficial, heat, deeper
? discs function as light touch receptors and are located at the ? layer of epidermis
tactile, basal
Nociceptors (Pain Receptors) are triggered by extreme ? changes, a pinch, or the release of chemicals from damaged tissue
temperature
? ? receptors are free nerve endings that wrap around hair follicles and act as light ? receptors. they also detect the ? of hairs and allow you to feel a mosquito landing on your skin
hair follicle, touch, bending
Optic nerve (II): Responsible for ?
vision
Tactile corpuscles are small receptors involved in ? touch
*Tactile corpuscles found just below skin
*Tactile corpuscles are mostly in sensitive and ? areas
discriminative, hairless
Lamellar corpuscles are large receptors that respond to deep pressure and ? then turn off (adapt rapidly)
Lamellar corpuscles located in ? dermis
vibration, deep
Muscle ? are spindle-shaped proprioceptors within ? and respond to muscle ? and also initiate a reflex that resists stretch
spindles, perimysium, stretching
